PUBLISHERS WEEKLY: "Rich detail accurate to what little we know of prehistoric life...a story to turn the mental gears." What would it be like to be the first human with a sense of "self"? Hoolow knows he is different from his tribemates. He not only loves the dark-eyed girl, he wants to possess her. When jealousy turns to tragedy, Hoolow embarks on a self-imposed exile. He learns valuable lessons about what it means to be human while experiencing visions in a dark cave, but he feels drawn to return to his tribe, where a new generation of young people has discovered "themselves." How will he cope as one among a group of individuals, where the tribe is no longer "whole"?
